So intense was the leati that three labourers, in hay-fields in this neighbourhood, died in consequence.—One, woman of the name of Watson, who having laid herself down to.alleviate the severe illness the heat had caused, was found dead on the return of her companions, a short time after.

A labower, On the Holderness road fainted, and after being carried to a neighbouring house, was some hours betbre-he re covered.

Oeoicro, JULY G.—The most important occur rence that creildeelerate the flaunt to glory and dignity was reservethfor our .days,whieh serve,l9 transmit to posterity the illustrious natne of the heroic Portuguese, anti to note in the records of this fine arul opulent-city the immortal epoch of its restoe:- tion, and that she gave the alarm . to the whole kingdom. The most cordial love to the best of Princes, stimulated all hearts in Portugal to oppose the. most uniostilnd most scandalous usurpatron. 11i ill7mse unlimited oppressions, the viol aion of all right;, and the absolute disrespect of the most sacred duties armed every inhabitant • to shake off the tyralinic yekee that oppressed them. But the Dis 'penser of Empires had reserved to this city the pre rogeti e of leading the way, and stimetating by its example every body to ematicipate this Kitig ;orre_e... FOr this purpose he raised among us • persons of genius, resohition, and vigour, cepable h f achieving so illustrious a purpose. The fatal day that deprived us of our lawful Sovereign, whom the hand of i t he Oinnipoteet has preserved' 'nom the Wicked One who persecuted him, .opened the way to tile most disasterous events, 'which, after having Over-1 . 60,01e Continent with nkery, desolation, and death, were about Los eifeet the complete destruOioim of -otir . • happy Peninsula; perfidy, simulatinn, and a combina tion of all artifices ! being the fore-runners of this oppressionemd tyranny—% lolence and the most dar-* ing.ainbition, its 'followers of the! monstrous man, he produce of theinvel revolutions, which, for these 19 years, has upset vo many thrones,' and ruined so many , people; who has made a traffic in kingeoms and in men ; who put on the -mask of reheibn the more imputlentlY to profine it; kvhd-has displayed to ! advantage all sorts of crimes, 'without being im peded by the least glimpsteof morality e er kept back remorse ; that celebrated Napoieoh, whom vile flattery avid its followers, or, with more Ropriety, whom the fear of his tyrannies, has raised to the most elevated uninlitediitles; after having announ ed by his reprosert6tiye., Juno:, to our desolate Na tipo,.thit he would Ptei‘ect us, dared to conceive in his illusive ideas, and - i 6 utter without a blush— " That that the Honse . of Braganza had 'ceased to rreign in Portugal P . ', ! ,l . ,,lnthinking Man ! What right, What conventioo.,authorises this iniquity and . ' usurpation ? Who constituted Napoleon the'Univer gal Tutor of.Kingsnind Natioris ? Who det'olved on him the succession of 3:hrones wrested by his tyrapny from their legitimate possessors ? Who: . entrusted him 'with that extraordinary and Linious protection witch authorises the spoliation of private property, and the trampling under foot of all right§ tee! privileges, that destroys rind confounds!all o'rder'?' The most manifest, hatred arosein the heariS of the - Nation, on its observing the accurnmulation of in justice and barbarity, with the most scandalous in; decency ; then began the Kisien of protection to dis- solve : forty millions of Cruzadoes were levied on this unhappy Country, as an extraordinary eontribu- Lion of war, a Country which the absence of its•be loved Prince, the invasion by numcrons troops, the total stagnation of comtherce, and the diseverev ! - Inent of industry and arts had reduced to the greatest distress : but this •is not all, those 40,000,000 were for the redereprion -of all private . properly bow had this hem forleited ? Vas it by our unbounded ea tieece in - suffering their extortions ? by time docility with which their hard and oppressive yoke was borne; by the meekness with which we recei‘ednur tyrants ? Posterity will hardly believe their impu dence and • immorality could ever reach such a length. The promised protection Went on itt this way. The patrimony of the temples, the ornaments' of the san6teark, the inheritance of its sacred Mini sters, were all iosuflicient for the insatiable thirst of the Oppressor of the Continent. The national dignity, disappeared—all public / employt»ents were, given to the less iriNtimed and less worthy, e'tgo, dis countenanced in theii - O - Vi Country, chewed amongst ! us a matchles efTrontePy, 'and who appeared to be influenced by the most insolent pride and the Most ;sordid eve-rice.. pese_Lealecepeeeent useleam:teachur _ the pi&ure of the,crdiou,s,,proon styled the Deeuty of Police, in this city, it e isdkuore faithfully .engraved in the indignation and mmernbrance of every one here. The moment of liberty was, however, approaching ; our valourous neighbours, the noble Spaniards, at length opened their eyes. The perfidious manner in which the reigning Family of Spain were betray-. eel, roused the vengeance of that gltion ; -and as soon as we were able, we. have shown that we still are what we have been; and what onr forefathers have been before us-, the most faithful and the most loyal to our Prince, and the most capable of restoring his wished-for Empire and our Liberty. At length the evening of the e r Bth day of June, , 1808, MFered the most brilliOtand pleasing scene to the generous Portuguese. .These faithrtil 'and va lourous men, who were strangers to fear, despised all_daogers, and, actuated by that ene rg y and faith ful •charatter, that distinguish, our nation, erected the standard of restoration, and in the '''earns e of theirkehglon, and in obedience to the e r dateied oaths, proclaimed anew the most 'exalted and powerful Prince the Lord Don John; Prince Regent of Portugal, our lawful Sovereign.. In this menvelt • 'of glory, however, we ~ re surrounded by dangers a column of the French army was merchiegto this city; without arms, without troops of the hue, and only with 200 artillery mtin and some Militia, we were in extreme danger; 'but we had valour and genius equal to our sitee!!on.
